It is a twist tension, but it works for me. I have drapes hanging on this rod and it is very snug and has not slipped at all.

This is the older one that works. The new twist kind are useless. Hope this helps!

This is the spring tension approach which works. I don't understand why anyone is producing the twist tension kind which appears not to work.

It's the 'twist tension' tyype. My husband actually used the same type of pieces that the rod slips into that are screwed into the wall that were up for the old rod so we're not really having to depend on the tension to keep it in place.

I don't know the "original" length of the spring, for it's installed now. However.... I think I know the problem you are having. My installation process was as follows: Installed the front of the spring first, then put the "U" clamps on ( lose fit.. double check the line-up on the hole & pin under the plate) then install the end of the spring in back. The last step is a challenge to say the least. Ended up using pinch (crow) bars with the help of a neighbor. Overall... very pleased with the quality of the product, but it was a bitch to install !!! Stick with it, and good luck. I don't know the "original" length of the spring, for it's installed now. However.... I think I know the problem you are having.

The pre-strung tension is a little bit soft but still playable, mine got re-strung with a Yonex string by a friend and I didn't ask about the tension detail but it is noticeably has higher tension and felt the increased in smashing power. I heard the normal tension is around 22 ~ 24 pound. Hope this help.

The tension knob MUST be aligned properly in the hole before tightening or it will NOT seat properly. It took me 4 tries before I got it seated properly and quite a few turns before it tightened enough to increase the tension.

The length of line provided should be enough which will stop the chair from twisting. By adding extra rope that is not similar to the existing line may also contribute to your problem of twisting because rope may cause an embalance. Another remedy may be to invest in the chair hammock stand if you have the space for one or try hanging it from a very sturdy beam. I hope this info helps so you can enjoy your chair, i certainly enjoy mine.

Try making sure you didn't loose the spring inside. Take off the bottom cap and check. You also have the spool inside the head upside down, check that if the problem still persist.

I have not had a problem with the spring. You need to flip it up to make the clippers work properly. I highly recommend these!

They do have these for twist shifters also. The shorter version will probably work but check with the seller too.

I discovered that the adjustment of tension can be modified by taking off the tension by unlatching the pawl then push the pawl until the nut clears the retaining pin and then screwing the nut in or out depending on whether you wish the tension increased or decreased once the lever(pawl) is latched. Directions should have been included to tell one this but not included with mine.

I really don't know. I bought the springs to lift a heavy maple kitchen cabinet much like the one pictured. It was a matterof popping out the old and in the new. It worked the way I expected it to so I read the instructions no further.

Just twist it one way to loosen and the other to tighten. Maybe there is something wrong with it. Check with the manufacturer. Sorry I could not be more helpful

I was able to decrease the tension by following the instructions provided by iBOLT in this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuDzjABXU_w(the link can also be found in iBOLT's Customer Support page) Hope that helps!

The spring tension is adjustable. I used it on a gate and it was installed on the outside of the gate.

..mine worked like a charm, yes...it screws like a crank, you just have to tighten by feel...if you think you have enough for one more turn and the neck to end up vertical then go ahead...I knew on my last turn that it was pretty tight and that I might had enough for a one more turn but I wasn't 100% so I stopped...plumbers tape is a must obviously and so far no leaks or problems....there is no need to over-tighten....

I didn't have to twist it for long at all. Sounds like yours may be defective.

Really depends on your shooting style and preference. I have both versions, but i prefer the twist. Its faster for my setup. I have no problems with the quality of both versions, they work great.

Cut the spring shorter until it fits right. Works awesome for me now. Plus I complained to the company because I had to modify it to fit. They refunded me double what I paid. I suggest you do the same since these junk chinese companies think they can sell crap to the US and get away with it.
